I am Cyril Perkins, an ex regular in the RAF.
As I was only 9 years old when the second world war broke out, I only experienced, but did not comprehend in the early years of the war, the horrors that were unfolding around me. Like millions of others in the London area and the parts of Essex close to the city, I witnessed many bombing raids, the doodlebugs and the V2 rockets.
My time in the RAF brought me closer to people from all walks of life who had been actively involved in defending our country, and because just some ten years ago I met my Friend Frank Paul, I felt the need to include his story in the 大象传媒's 'People's War.
Frank isn't able to use a computer, and he will hate me for telling you this, he is knocking on the door of 90 years old, and is more at home with pen and paper!
